Sue thinks the Serenade collection from Basic Grey is the Bees Knees!  Oh my gosh, she had such a hard time cutting into those beautiful papers.  Serenade is such a delicate collection with a touch of nature added which is just perfect according to Sue’s tastes.  Sue has scrapped photos of her son Bailey, which capture a little glimpse into his personality.  Sue used the Element Stickers from the collection to add most of the embellishments to her page.  Sue always likes to adhere the stickers onto cardstock and then cut them out.  It allows her to position them on the page during the designing process without them sticking to everything but it also gives them a little more dimension.  Sue also made use of the lovely mini envelopes, the brads and the chiffon flowers from the collection.

Kelly Noel is a very talented designer for Basic Grey and she kindly allowed us to share a few of her gorgeous pages.  Kelly says good holiday collections are hard to come by and Basic Grey always knocks it out of the park! To keep with her more clean and graphic style, Kelly paired the gorgeous Aspen Frost papers with a white background to really make the papers pop.  The red/green/blue combo is so fresh and fun!

Kelly also used the Basic Grey Aspen Frost collection for this second layout. She said it was absolutely perfect for all of those Christmas photos she had laying around. Kelly loves the bright red and green and the pop of teal mixed in. Kelly loves the little stitched banners!

 

The third layout of Kelly’s that we are sharing, uses the Basic Grey Soleil collection. Kelly has always been a fan of Basic Grey and Sassafras so the mix is just amazing. Soleil is awesome for all kinds of photos, but for summer ones, it is just perfect. Kelly says she just loves the Sassafras inspired backgrounds that add so much interest and depth to the background.

 

 

How about this wonderfully tranquil card created by Shari Carroll for the BasicGrey design team.  We love the subtle layers and colour palette, and how she has stamped a butterfly directly onto the card behind for a different texture.

 

 

What about a fun double page?!  Els Brige has created this for the Basicgrey blog making use of a double page sketch.  We love the Soleil pops of colour that make this page as fun as the photos she is showcasing.

weekend inspiration: studio calico

 

Studio Calico is such a popular brand with such an awesome array of products. Leeann decide to focus on the masks and mists in this project. Leeann used a sun burst mask and 3 different coloured mists. Once everything was layered and sprayed and was completely dry Leeann cut the rays out. Machine stitched each one for extra detail and used 3D tape for extra dimension. Then simple added her pic and other studio calico embellishments!

Suz used the gorgeous Yearbook Collection for her page, picking up a fab contrast in her page with the teals against the reds.  She loves the simplicity of the Studio Calico designs which makes them a great backdrop for favourite photos.

Sasha Farina has kindly allowed us to share a couple of pages using plenty of Studio Calico products. Sasha also happens to be part of the Studio Calico design team. On both these pages Sasha has used papers and embellishments from HeyDay, another super awesome collection. thank you so much Sasha for allowing us to share some of your amazing creations!

 

We have Geralyn Sy from the Studio Calico Design team to thank for this cool layout.  We love how she has used the index card paper to create a colour blocking effect – it’s bold and fun.

 

 

Studio Calico Design Team Member Jen Jockish has created this warm wood-toned page from the Winter Wonderland collection.

 

And finally this beautiful page by Nicole Samuels is also created from Winter Wonderland, demonstrating just how versatile this line can be. 

christmas cards – quick!

Need ideas to create a heap of Christmas cards quickly?  It’s nearly December – of course you do!!  Here’s some ideas that our design team are hoping will get them out of some jams this Christmas season.

 

Jane created these quick Christmas cards by stamping and clear embossing a tree on the front of the folded cards (smooth side) then she dragged an ink pad down the card over the image (use a sponge around the image if need). Clean over the image with a tissue, Jane then added glitter tape down the sides to create clean lines. She then stamp the sentiments with the same inks, cut them out and arrange them on the cards with a white ribbon bow.

Simple triangle Christmas trees are one of the quickest and most effective ways of communicating Christmas on a card.  Suz Doyle tends to go back to them every year – mostly because she loves them!  This year she has layered patterned papers on Tim Holtz’s fabulous new mirrored cardstock to create these fun trees.  Simple punches show off the mirror underneath, and raising the trees gives them a really pretty three dimensional look.

 

PRODUCT LINKS:

   

 

 

 

Three sheets of patterned paper are all you need to create these gorgeous quick cards by Carole Janson.  She has used the beautiful Webster Pages Royal Christmas range.  The stunning Deck the Halls features 25 gorgeous unique windows and doors and she has used those as the feature to her cards.  Carole also created a tag to match.

PRODUCT LINKS:

     

 

 

Finally, Jennifer Maguire often makes cards that look like simplicity itself – and sometimes they are, but they are always beautiful!  This breathtaking card can be made using a simple circle mask and your own choice of inks and stamps.  See how Jennifer has created this card here.

scrapbooking the everyday

 

I’m sure we all have random photos – ones which will never make it onto their own scrapbook layout, or perhaps even off the hard drive.  They’re not particularly noteworthy, but they certainly capture tiny moments of time, tiny details that might just be a more fascinating view into our lives than many perfect portraits.

 

Suz has decided to round a lot of these shots up and turn them into a page for each month, printing most of the photos at 2x2” – small enough to fit lots on a page, large enough to be able to enjoy the details.  Some are from her camera, some from her phone, and most are more about the minutiae of everyday life rather than the big events.

 

It was interesting to her too to cover these three months and note how many of them moved from indoor winter activities and shots to more outdoor and active photos as the weather warms up later in the year.

 

Suz has used the Snap! Studio range by Simple Stories for her pages.  With so many random photos it would be easy to be overwhelmed with bold patterns and multicoloured papers, so this range is just perfect with many monotone and simple prints.  For each page she took her colour cue from the monthly title stickers, and used elements from the journalling spots and word stickers of that colour to give a cohesive feel to each page.  The pages look particularly effective one after another in an album, with each different colour changing the mood of the page.  The format for each page is the same and predictable which allows the focus to remain on the photos.

Jill took inspiration from the wonderful vintage portraits contained in the Paper Stash and used to to create a story.  She has featured a quote from one of her favourite movies "Cider House Rules" to show to passage from a difficult childhood to manhood.

Louise's thoughts are, 'what’s not to love' about the Tim Holtz Range?! Whilst the embellishments are very much suited to grunge, industrial, and steampunk styles, they also lend themselves perfectly to simple and minimalist styles; as in Louise's case. Tim Holtz Ideology embellishments are perfectly versatile and suit all types and themes for your paper crafting project.

If you are looking for unique use of Tim Holtz range of embellishments and papers then look at these wonderful creations by Finnabair [aka Anna Dabrowska ] Thank you Finn for sharing your unique creativity with Tim Holtz products.

 

Thank you so very much to Marji Kemper  for sharing with us her fabulous tag created using the awesome Tim Holtz grunge board ideology embellishments and cutting dies.

weekend inspiration: american crafts

 

The tiny touches of gold glitter and foil alongside the gorgeous soft gelato colour palette is what made Suz Doyle fall in love with Dear Lizzy’s ‘5th and Frolic’ line from American crafts.  It’s pretty and girly but still a little sophisticated, which also kind of suits her daughter to a T as well!

Iris always says that working with Amy Tangerine collection is such a thrill. You get everything you will ever need to create a funky dimensional page. The base paper is stitched and features a cluster of layered embellishments in one corner. That alone already gives you an amazing page design to start with. Add the dimensional stickers and fabric stickers and you are all set to go. Iris shares with us a recent page she made using the “Ready Set Go” collection for her European vacation to Brugge, Belgium – otherwise known as the “Venice of the North” because of its beautiful canals.

Another amazing thing about Amy Tangerine collections is that it easily blends with the older releases. Here, Iris mixes the new “Ready Set Go” collection with the older Amy Tangerine papers and embellishments.

 

  

 

April Lim shares with us a cheerful and crisp layout about a special bonding moment she shared with her son. She uses hand-cut elements to reflect the mood of the day as well as the love she shares with her son. Thank you April for the inspiration!

 

How pretty is this card using the 5th&Frolic line created by Lilith Eckels.   Lizzie Kartchner.  The garland comes ready made for you to adorn your projects.

 

Cathy Pascual from the American Crafts design team created this vibrant layout using the Soho Garden collection.  We love how she repeated the bow motif from her daughters top in her embellishments.

 

This happy single page by American Crafts DT member Becky Williams also uses the Soho Garden range.  We love her pops of colour – the hot pinks and reds , the gorgeous gold and of course the vibrant aqua that comes from the photos themselves.

christmas cards – quick!

 

Some card makers can often find Christmas card making to be a little frustrating and stressful. Instead of card making being a creative outlet or something that brings you joy - it starts to become just another job on the Christmas to do list and you can be overwhelmed with so many cards to make.  This year that does not need to be the case. Leanne has put together some Christmas cards and tags using the Simple Stories Handmade Holiday range that are quick, easy and fun to make. 

By combining the 3x4 and 4x6 Holiday Cards along with a 6x6 paper pad, the Handmade Holiday range just works so easily together.  You can come up with one design and replicate that a number of times alternating the papers, embellishments and colour combinations you use.

 

Using the bingo cards and flash cards as the focal point on these cards Leanne made each card look different and yet they all follow the same basic layout.

 

The 6x6 paper pad has miniature journaling elements which become perfect little tag toppers.  Leanne combined them with the 3x4 Holiday Cards and they instantly become cute tags.  On some tags/gift cards she added some extra embellishments like buttons, stickers etc and others were left just as they were.  Flipping the basic layout from portrait to landscape Leanne was also able to change the look of the gift cards.

 

 

Leanne turned the cardstock stickers into embellishments by mounting them on foam tape to add extra dimension to her tag.

 

Leanne decided a quick and fun way to use up those left over off cuts was to turn them into fishtail banners.  She teamed them up with the 4x6 Holiday Cards as they make an instant and perfect background.

No sentiment needed on this Christmas card as it's all in the Hero Arts Background stamp!  Ink the Merry Background stamp with your favourite inks, stamp it onto Kraft cardstock, then using silver embossing powder, heat emboss the beautiful Branch & Flourish tree stamp also from Hero Arts, cut around the tree and it's ready to mount onto your card.  Add some bling and you're done!

PRODUCT LINKS:

 

 

For this quick set of gorgeous Christmas cards, grab your favourite Christmas themed pattern paper - Chris has chosen Jillibean Soup Christmas Eve Chowder, use small strips of the paper to frame the Branch & Flourish Tree stamp.  Complete the card with some crystals, pearls and a simple sentiment.

PRODUCT LINKS:

       

 

 

 

This final card took Chris just 15 minutes to make and she said if she was making this card in bulk it could be even quicker once you get all the pieces cut out and start a production line.  The flourish tree stamp was heat embossed with white embossing powder and the rest of the card is simple cutting.  Chris used the Echo Park Very Merry Christmas collection kit.

scrapbooking the everyday

 

Nic Howard is only a recent convert to the Project Life way of scrapbooking, but is already loving the results.  This page shows everything she loves about the concept behind it – the divided protectors, the ease of slotting in photos and including journaling either handwritten, typed on the computer or added in by other family or friends (note Abby’s little note and smiley face?!). 

 

 

Nic also mentions she loves the way one collection such as Teresa Collins Designs “Tell Your Story” can last so long, this double page has paper, stickers, washi tape and diecuts from that collection with enough leftover to do dozens more pages.  This makes it easy to carry on scrapbooking this way, it makes it extremely economical and it makes all the pages really cohesive.  The teal, orange and butterfly theme carries on for several more of Nic’s pages with cute little flags, cards and stickers cut straight from Teresa Collins Designs papers.

Other fun things to note about scrapbooking this way is how you can include your more lumpy bumpy projects (Nic just slots photos of them right in there!) and how it’ll make hybrid or digi scrappers happy too... see the days of the week on the photos?  They are a digital creation!

A big thankyou to Riikka Kovasin from Finland for agreeing to share her beautiful layout, Siskit (which is translated to Sisters.  Riikka's layout features a mixture of papers from Lily Bee Designs Double Dutch, Stationery and Memorandum ranges.  I love the whimsical feel that Riikka has given her layout with the misted and handrawn background which pull the colours from the beautiful bold red and blue floral paper.

weekend inspiration: the crafter’s workshop

 

 

Jill combined both the good and the bad that has been 2012 into a canvas featuring the Prima Craftsman papers and note cards, and the Crafters Workshop ‘Flower Garden’ template.  Collaging the canvas and then layering paints, ink and mists over the template, incorporating autobiographical elements into your artwork is easy to do - not to mention therapeutic!

PRODUCT LINKS:

 

 

 

By combing both of the TCW stencils, Jill has painted over them in white to create a far more interesting background for her page.  Finishing it off, she has used the Hod Podge book cover with roughly stitched holes, painted over it and then added the decorative rubon for even more interest.

As you probably already know The Crafters Workshop templates are a creative favourite for Louise. For this particular layout Louise has created an 'embossed' like pattern on her background, using the template, texture paste and gesso. The pattern of the template has been highlighted by the subtle use of Tattered Angels chalkboard glimmer mist behind and around the photo.

Suz went with BasicGrey’s Soleil range to show off November, as its pale sunny colours softly whisper late spring/early summer hazy days to her.  She has layered the papers and then used a Crafters Workshop template to softly whitewash the sunburst onto the background before adding her photo and embellishments.

Leeann was allocated Red no: 3 from the Tim Holtz Coredinations cardstock to use as her base for her December calendar page.  It’s such a festival time of year with family and friends. Leeann captured this photo of her daughter Jorja with a bright red sponge nose. It is the perfect photo to display on this calendar page. She then teamed it up with this collection from crate paper – snow day, brightly coloured pattern papers and Christmas chipboard shapes, adding a few hambly overlays for extra detail. And finish this page off by hand stitching a border.

scrapbooking the everyday

 

Iris loved the concept of Project Life. Though she does not make a habit of capturing daily photos, the concept of using photo sleeves for creating pages works well for people like her who takes lots of pictures of certain events. Because she has so many photos that she wants developed and housed in her album, the concept of Project Life makes this a not so difficult task anymore.

 

PRODUCT LINKS:

 

 

 

A fan of scrapbook handmade albums, Iris took the concept of Project Life and created her very own "Snap Albums". It combines her love for chipboard pages with the ease of photo sleeve pages. Again this makes documenting and housing photos and memories of a certain event easy for her. She completed this entire album in just one day. Best of all, she was able to include most of her photos of the event in just one single project! Time saving, fun, and pretty all at the same time.
For this project, Iris used the brand new collection "Best Friends" from Webster's Pages... coming to the Aussie Scrap Source site soon!

weekend inspiration: sizzix

 

For this particular layout Louise has used a variety of leaves die cut from white card stock using the Sizzix Bigz leaf die, they have been adhered to the background cardstock and then coloured using Tattered Angels chalkboard glimmer mist. This adds interesting visual dimension to the layout background.

PRODUCT LINKS:

    

 

 

 

Suz had fun playing with Tim Holtz’s Autumn Gatherine’s Decorative Strip die on this pretty leaf strewn page.  Though all the die cuts look amazing clustered as a wreath, she decided to create a more linear look and stitched through the leaves in lines.  She prepared the leaves first by curling them and then inking and glittering the edges with a soft gold.

 

PRODUCT LINKS:

        

 

 

Finnabair [aka Anna Dabrowska-Pekoka]creates wonderful unique mixed media papercraft creations, and today we share with you a few that showcase her design team creativity for Sizzix.

She used the Bohemian Lace Embossing folders in this gorgeous piece, along with Tim Holtz’s On the Edge Distressed Doily.

Finnabair created this Klimt inspired piece using the Textured Impressions embossing folders – Bohemian Botanicals set, and shaded the relief patterns to create this amazing metallic look.  She also incorporated the Tim Holtz Elegant Flourishes die behind her character.

 

Thank you so much Anna these are just fabulous.

 

 

This is a wonderful little card created by Celine Navarro for Sizzix, combining the use of the Decorative Framelits and the Heart and Wings Moves & Shapers. 

Finally, check out this gorgeous Framelits Christmas tree die which comes complete with stamps so you can co-ordinate your own decorations!

weekend inspiration: stampers anonymous

 

Apart from the design one of the most fabulous things impresses Louise about the Studio 490 stamps is their versatility! They are created to cater for both the paper crafter and the mixed media artist! What better value for money and your crafting mojo could you ask for?! :)
Louise has used only 3 elements of the stamp design but there are 6 in total.

Aside from the beautiful images that Stamper's Anonymous Stamps are known for, they also come up with fabulous quotes and sayings perfect for scrapbooking, card making, and mixed media. In this layout, Iris took out three sets of cling stamps to add subtle background stamping as well as instant journaling for her page.

Stamper's Anonymous cling stamps are made of highly durable material. To show you how versatile and durable these stamps are, Iris created a UTEE melt art pendant using a clock stamp from the Stamper's Anonymous Cling Stamp Set by Tim Holtz.
To create this pendant, Iris first took a metal charm (Fancy Pants Artisan) and coated it with patina ink. She then added two coats of clear UTEE and melted it. While the UTEE was still wet, Iris pressed on the clock stamp to the hot and melted UTEE. The image transferred beautifully. Colour and highlights were added using wax metallic pigments.

Atty. Gigi Martinez is an accomplished lawyer by profession but is also a very talented crafter. She shares with us here a masculine layout she made for her eldest son. You can see here that Gigi easily mixes clean classic design with stamping techniques. Among her favourite stamping products are Stamper's Anonymous and she certainly puts them to good use.

Louise N has kept her style simple and fun for the September calendar page. With this layout the 'sketch can be flipped and used in different orientations, and include more than one photo. Louise has used the wonderful Memory Box leaf cutting die to cut out leaf shapes to compliment her photo and the season of September.

documenting the everyday

 

Danielle loved this 'Project Life' approach to creating layouts, as it renewed a focus on snapshots of whatever is happening around specific dates.

 

PRODUCT LINKS:

         

 

 

She imagined creating a handful of layouts per month and ending up with an album of fun pages which genuinely capture the moments that passed.

PRODUCT LINKS:

 

As for theme, Danielle went for a 'totally random' feel, mixing standard photos, regular mobile photos and instagram shots together however suited the page. Each page featured a date as a main part of the title.

PRODUCT LINKS:

            

weekend inspiration: echo park papers

 

Danielle was drawn to the colours and shapes in Echo Park's For the Record Documented range, but wanted to keep things loose and simple for this page. Doilies were cut out of one patterned paper to be scattered over the background, a second sheet of patterned paper with the added vibrancy of acrylic paint. A journaling spot - from a third sheet of patterned paper, this time from an Echo Park mini theme - is used for visual balance as well as a handy spot for story-telling!

PRODUCT LINKS:

   

 

 

Echo Park's Mini Themes are small collections with a variety of styles. Danielle has used The Great Outdoors mini theme - a camping range - for this cute outdoorsy layout of her youngest son and his cousin. The adorable forest critters and motifs in the collection feature on the background paper as well as on cardstock stickers, and paint has been swiped around the background paper to soften the graphic effect a little. Result = cuteness!

 

PRODUCT LINKS:

   

 

 

Chris created this little wall hanging using the Everyday Eclectic collection kit.  Everything is in the kit to create fabulous creations like this including the lovely stickers.  Chris used the Sizzix fancy square frame and added some Prima Mini Crystal swirls and Zva Creative Crystals.

 

 

There are some fantastic images on selected papers in the Everyday Eclectic Collection kit.  For this card Chris has used the reverse side of the 'cameras' paper which has these fabulous theme park pictures on it.  The pictures are quite faded and made Chris feel a little nostalgic which then made her miss her sister.  Chris used the alphabet letter stickers to create the sentiment.

 

 

And lastly Chris made this fun card which would be great to give to someone you're about to go travelling with!  How fabulous is the Kraft Clouds paper?  Perfect for backgrounds on cards!

Check out how Cathy Harper has used the Echo Park Everyday Eclectic range!  We just love the way Cathy has layered the papers and created this fun, fully individual sunburst design.  Thank you Cathy!

 

Janice Daquila-Pardo has also used many layers of the Everyday Eclectic range for this super layout!  We love the Kraft Cloud paper peeping through in the background!  Thanks for sharing Janice!
